“Better yet, I’m going to kill them both!” I raged, ignoring Dante and marching to the door.
I swung it wide open to find a smug Hannes standing on the other side.
“Youuu…”
“I heard you were looking for me.” He smirked naughtily, fully knowing what he had done and proud of it.
“Leave my mate alone, Bitch!”
“Youuu…”
“What did I do?”
“Oh, you both know what you did!” I accused them, and for the first time, Hannes fully repressed a smile. No twitching on lips or anything. “Don’t give me that innocent look. You claimed Star and she claimed you while you were both wolves!”
“Damn, you did?” André asked shocked, but Dante just laughed.
“What, I did? Noooo,”Star’s voice filled with sarcasm.“You mean, like I took over your body while you were unconscious, and slept with my destined mate simply because I knew he belonged to me?”
Oooh, she was going to die.
“How dare you go around doing exactly what I did, and then throwing it in my face?”I demanded, but I was kind of proud of her too.
“Starlight does have a point…”The husky voice was one I was used to by now, but not like this.
What the hell?
The loudest gasp left me, and I fiercely narrowed my eyes at Hannes. “What the hell are you doing in my mind?!”
“It’s not just your mind, Bitch. It’s my mind too. Hannes and I share a pack bond so we can communicate through thought. Especially now that we have claimed each other.”
Interesting… “Whatever.”
Sighing, I turned my attention to the real culprit based on Star’s memories that she had so graciously decided to throw in my face. I mean, share with me. I crossed my arms over my chest.
“And what do you have to say for yourself, mister?”
Hannes crossed his arms over his broad chest too, defying me.
“If I were to speak for my wolf, I would say the Wolf Shifter bond is the strongest, and knowing he and Starlight are mates, it was only a matter of time before it happened. You and I might need time, but they don’t… There was no point in making them suffer.”
His voice turned softer as he spoke of his wolf and Star, kindness exuding from him and deflating me.
Let’s be honest, out of Natasha, Star, and I, Star was the one always horny, so only the Goddess knew how she’d felt seeing Natasha and I get it on with our mates while she waited.
“Fine, you are both forgiven,” I huffed, giving him my back and facing the others.
My steps halted for a moment, feeling a bit unsettled and filled with warmth at the same time. The room in front of me looked the same in all three places I’d been to—New York City, Heart Island, and now Germany.
Anastasia’s voice suddenly echoed in my mind.“I wanted you to find something familiar wherever you went.”
The soft grays, purples, and whites spread through this room too, only the architecture that surrounded this one was absolutely mesmerizing. Honestly, I would need to read a few more books to be sure, but it seemed like a mix between Romanesque, and Gothic.
With the memory of Anastasia, everything else fell to the background and I remembered what was truly important here. Taking a settling breath, I glanced at Hannes again.
His expression immediately sobered, knowing what I was thinking.
“I know you brought me here to protect me and to draw the danger away from New York, but I can’t hide from this. My mother is somewhere out there with those monsters while myfather is trying to get her back, and for all I know, they might both have been captured and in danger.”
